SRM x 100

Race #35 2012 - 3.258km - 12.19 - Wednesday 26th of July

Sognsvann Rundt Medsols (SRM) quickly became an addiction to me, and it was my introduction to racing. It is because of SRM that I started my running "career". Before I only went for a slow jog now and then.

My 2008 times.

It all started back in October 2008. After the "race barrier" was broken with the first race I did another one, and another one, and another one. SRM #225 was very special. It is the only SRM race, as far as I know, where it has been snowing while running. The snow and the torches along the track was magical. Through the winter, after the SRM season 2008 had ended, I thought of this special race all the time. I was eager to get started once more, and when the spring came I was back at the lake. Since race 223 on the 15th of October there has just been a few times where I have not raced. The only three reasons for me not racing has been:
1) Due to participating in other races.
2) Due to being (very) sick.
3) Due to being away on holidays (I try to avoid this though : read more here and here).

Since I've participated 100 times from race 223 till this week's race, which is 337 in the number, it means there has only been 15 (337-223+1 = 115) times in about three and a half years that I've not ran around the lake during the SRM season (the season is from the beginning of April till end of October).

I haven't been running that fast lately. It's about one year since last time I did set a PB around the lake, but maybe one day I will set a new one. Only time will show what times that will show up. All SRM results can be found here.

SRM PBs.
